Abstract

A connection system 10 comprises: a base 24 configured to support the photovoltaic panels 22a and 22b in a manner where they face the different directions D1 and D2 respectively; and, an electric circuit 26 which is supported by the base 24 and electrically couples the panels 22a and 22b together as well as enabling the electrical connection of the connection system 10 to a second like connection system. The base 24 is coupled to each of the PV panels 22 at two spaced apart locations by posts 30a1, 30a2, 30b1, 30b2 and a ridge plate 32 which provides support for each of the panels 22 along the length of an upper edge of each PV panel 22. The electric circuit 26 comprises: a sub-circuit 54 which is housed in the cavity 40; electrical terminals 56 that demountably engage the posts 30; and electrical connectors 58a and 58b which provide electrical connection with adjacent connection systems 10.
